Is it true that Usyk vs Fury 2 will feature an AI judge?
Yes, the AI experiment will be “free from bias and human error” according to Turki Alalshikh the man behind the tool. You might be relieved to hear that the so-called ‘AI judge’ will not be used for official scorecards.
It’s certainly an interesting idea but we’re not convinced AI judges will solve boxing’s scoring problem.
What time are main event ringwalks?

5.20pm ET / 10.20pm GMT – 10 mins of live entertainment

Billed as ‘Ring of Fire’, Fury showboated his way through the first round but was soon struggling to hold his own against Usyk. The Gypsy King landed an uppercut in the sixth round but his momentum was short-lived. Usyk landed 14 punches in the ninth round and Fury was given a standing count.
